Top 25 Funniest TV Shows Ever

The Simpsons

The Simpsons was created by Matt Groening, it is one of the most recognizable animated sitcoms. The series started airing in 1989. So far there have been 25 seasons and 552 episodes, amazing right?

It’s setting takes place in a mythical land called Springfield, its about a family trying to make the most out of every situation. You have got to love Bart and Homer (my favorites). A lot of interesting characters in this legendary series.

I always like to look on what’s ahead of me, what I see is the 26th season of The Simpsons. There is absolutely no chance that you haven’t watched or heard of the show, I decided to start the list with this classic, it’s difficult to find someone who dislikes it.

Orange Is the New Black

Orange Is the New Black is a fairly new series, it started airing in 2013. The show was created by Jenji Kohan and has received a lot of praise since its debut. 2 seasons and 26 episodes in and I have to say it is a show you cannot afford to miss out on.

An interesting case of a woman sentenced to serve 15 months for a crime committed 10 years ago. Piper Chapman was transporting money for her drug-dealing girlfriend and now pays the price.

It is a great show, as I mentioned the reception has been very good and practically it is the right moment to start watching it. A great crime series filled with a lot of humor.

Friends

Friends was created by the duo of David Crane and Marta Kauffman. The show lasted for ten years and as far as sitcoms go, this is my favorite, what a series. 236 episodes and 10 seasons of pure brilliance.

Six New Yorker’s in their twenties deal with their love and work issues. Monica is a chef, her brother Ross is a geek and has a PHD in paleontology, Chandler and Joey live across Monica and her new room-mate Rachel who is a waitress at the Central Perk, the coffee shop where they hang out all the time.

The reception was very positive, until date it is considered as one of the best sitcoms ever made. It is a very original show that you are definitely going to enjoy.

Parks and Recreation

Parks and Recreation was created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur. There are 6 seasons and 112 episodes of this mockumentary, a great series with great actors such as Aziz Ansari, Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman and many more.

Indiana’s town officials are working on interesting projects to do better for their city, a lot of great characters and interactions makes this show incredibly funny.

Most similar to The Office if you ask me, I certainly enjoyed it and recommend it highly to everyone who enjoys mockumentaries. The reception was very positive.

Modern Family

Modern Family was on air since 2009, when it comes to the series that are currently on air, this one is my favorite. It is a very good show, so far there have been 120 episodes and hopefully many more to come.

The clue is in the name, it is about a big modern family. One regular old fashioned, one with a rich guy and his younger hotter wife from Colombia and a gay couple. A great sitcom that is making a real mark in the comedy section when it comes to TV shows.

As I mentioned, I am a huge fan so my recommendation is expected, if by any chance you haven’t been around to give it a chance then now is the time.

The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory is another show created by Chuck Lorre, this time in a partnership with Bill Prady. The series is on air since 2007 and thus far has 159 episodes.

It is about geeks who happen to have PhD’s in various areas (except Howard), some even two. Sheldon Cooper lives with Leonard and they get a new neighbor in Penny, a wannabe actress who works as a waitress. A lot of great humor that you will enjoy ten times more if you are a “geek”.

A very unique show that I for one enjoy a lot, can’t wait for the 8th season. Watch the series.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia or as it is also known as It’s Always Sunny was created by Rob McElhenney, it started airing in 2005, almost a decade ago. 104 episodes so far in the nine seasons.

Arrogant friends with big egos are bartenders in an Irish bar in Philadelphia, I love this list, so many great series. Great humor and great actors, Danny DeVito anyone?

It’s black comedy at its best, sitcoms tend to last for a long period and I for one hope that this one will last for as long as it has thus far. If you still haven’t watched the show then your wait should be over.

Freaks and Geeks

Freaks and Geeks was created by Paul Feig, it is a teen drama that has only 18 episodes, the series was on air from 1999 to 2000.

The plot takes place in the 80’s, it’s about two different groups dealing with life in high-school. It is a great show that everyone hoped it would last longer, at the end there was only one season of this great comedy drama.

Considering there are only eighteen episodes it would’t take too much of your time but note that you might get addicted and demand for more.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was the show that shot Will Smith onto the stars, it was on air from 1990 to 1996. There are 148 episodes of this teen sitcom, Will Smith and Alfonso Ribeiro formed a partnership that was too good to miss it.

Will Smith gets sent out to the luxury Bel-Air after he got into some trouble back home in Philadelphia. My favorite show from childhood, you don’t want to miss this one.
